Just like Twitter I won't be using Threads. I've never understood the allure of micro-blogging. Hard pass.
- Same. I want to follow interesting topics, not individuals really.
  
  The only real usefulness I've ever found is following musical artists to keep up with what they're putting out, but with Mastadon I've been using it as something of a news source and getting a lot out of it
- It's only really useful for aggregation of PSAs (in my opinion) and I don't need to be on one of those sites since if it's important enough someone will repost the tweet to a platform I use, or it will get reposted in a "news" article. In other news though, I also find it horribly annoying when I click on a news article to discover that it's just screenshots of a bunch of tweets.
